    reading it now.
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020*

I am midway in the process of reading the 2020 edition of this book. For someone interested in the classics I would recommend beginning instead with Kingsley's "In the Dark Places of Wisdom". It is more disciplined and convincing. Something strange has happened with "Reality" however.  Kingsley is more concerned with marketing himself as a mystagogue than serving the text. For those who need to huddle around the warmths emanating from your guru's feet or if you are a member of QAnon for the classics world, this may be the book for you. It seems a little silly to me. A third of the book is devoted to Parmenides and the detailed options available in translating the greek, a third to how important and awsome and mindblowing all of it is, and a third to how stupid and insensitive all the other classics scholars throughout the ages in have been in misinterpreting what is so obvious to our author.  As original as "Reality" can be at times, the author has issues that an "enlightened" person would have left aside long ago. If I change my mind as I go along I will gladly change this review as quickly as possible.  It gets only 2 out of 5 stars because only 2/5ths of the books is worth reading.  But please, I strongly encourage anyone to read the other, shorter "Dark Places"  first.  The editor on this book should lose his editing license.

    A Superb Western Mystic Tome
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018*

The text is penned in the style of a Sorcerer;  It is verbose, but it has to be, as Dr. Kingsley is attempting to lead the reader to a lost, forgotten and ultimately rejected path. This path, should a person take the time to discover it, will lead back to the roots of Western Civilization.The signs he points to, on the way to this lost tradition (Incubation, Conscious Sense Perception, Noting Of Maya) can all take the reader to the same road Dr. Kingsley has rediscovered.But in rediscovering this path yourself, you might lose everything you think is yours; and be thankful for it.

    Intriguing but verbose
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018*

Kingsley seems to have an interesting perspective on ancient Greek thought, and I was eager to learn what he had to share. However, I found that with every chapter I finished, I had been told little to nothing. I would blow through numerous chapters per sitting and find that after an entire section, he had shared what could have been reasonably encapsulated in a couple chapters. It seems to be a common complaint that Kingsley could have chopped this thing down, but it's likely more to do with editing; Kingsley is not a bad writer, he's just in need of an editor more willing to make him compress his prose.That said, despite Kingsley's credentials, I didn't get much out of this one. Perhaps I need to read another of his works, but it seemed to me to be somewhat akin to popular-level self-help New Age material than an avant-garde though academic review of Parmenides and Empedocles. I found his thesis, the connection between Parmenides' own cultus with ancient shamanistic traditions, to be intriguing, but even at a popular level, Kingsley does little to expound on his argument. He is certainly detailed in his Greek as well as his history, but much of the academic side of the text seems dedicated to (increasingly tiresome) references to how colleagues in his field have overlooked some hidden subtlety or even a glaringly obvious datum. I think I would have appreciated this more had it been more concise and more academic, rather than how it now stands.That said, if you're interested in ancient Greek thought and don't mind a text somewhat overstaying its welcome, so to speak, then I would certainly recommend this.
